Any Stirling mums?

I'm living in England at the moment, but my OH (other half) has a new job in Stirling so we plan to move up properly at the end of the summer (he's originally from Glasgow, I'm from Northern Ireland).

I need to find a GP, midwife, healthcentre, hospital... any recommendations? I don't even know where to start.

I'd also like to meet some other mummies. I want to find a swimming pool and yoga classes. And coffee mornings :) would love any advice you have. We're going up next month to house hunt - wish us luck!

I used to live in Alloa which is only 6 miles from Stirling and im actually going to be having my baby down there too. You will probably have the baby at the new Forth Valley Royal hospital and your midwifes will be there too, its very nice. As for baby groups etc I couldn't be specific but I have friends still living there with kids and there seems to be plenty on if you want to go x

Hi I live in Bannockburn, gp wise, I'm Bannockburn health centre which is not that great, you might be better with Park Avenue which has a sister practice in St Ninians which apparently are very good- I was meant to switch before fell pregnant. Hospital with be forth valley royal which is a new hospital and iv heard good reviews. Iv been looking for maternity exercise classes as my gym doesn't do them but they ones I found online have been cancelled due to lack of interest :/ still to find some, think there may be a class in Alloa and Dunblane? Not sure tho. Sorry for heaps of info lol any other queries just ask, when are you due? Xx

Due 14th Nov, so plan to move up in good time to get settled. When are you both due?

Thanks for the advice on GPs and hospitals. I might make some calls next week. I'll keep my fingers for good yoga or exercise classes... let me know if you come across anything interesting and I'll do the same! I don't mind travelling a bit - I'm going from a full time stressful job to sitting waiting for the little one's arrival, so I'll need fun things to keep me from going mad! x

By now your child probably needs only one short nap a day, if any. You might find, however, that scheduling a quiet, restful time in the afternoon, whether he sleeps or not, can be a calming part of his day and yours. Read More
